We should probably agree on what age range we want to be in if we're going to be a friend group. I was thinking of late teenagers, maybe up to early twenties? The kind of people who would want to become youtubers

prologue sounds good to me :)
I'll assume 20 to 39 years old (failed improvement check).

I've never done CoC so I'll put something together first to check how it works. I can adjust it later ;)
OOC:
Should we go with "artistic" youtuber names, instead of real ones?
Jun 11, 2019 7:36 pm
We probably call each other by our real names and just have a channel name that we work under together

Can you guys see my character?

Does this look ok to you (more experienced) guys?
I'll continue adding up details as I read more of the rules :)

Am I supposed to start creating my character ?

I think we've got the group theme and rough sketches of everyone's characters. I think that's enough we can start filling out character sheets.

Then again I like dreaming up characters and think nothing of making and remaking them as the idea solidifies. If you've got all you need then start creating, we're not starting at dawn either so no reason to rush if you have more questions.

ahah, I started it because I'm totally new to the system and I'll only have questions once I get my hands dirty ;)
I'm ok with just re-rolling another character with this one being just practice and all if that turns out to be for the best

Ok, I'll have a look at the character creation. Never done it on Coc7th yet.

CoC character creation doesn't take that long so I'll try to get a character ready soon and I don't mind changing it up later as required. The most difficult part will be to find a character picture anyway. It always is

Rolling for stats. Let's see what my character will be like ':D

STR 70
CON 45
SIZ 50
DEX 65
APP 30
INT 55
POW 60
EDU 80

Hmmm

Rolling for Luck (Age 15-19)

I can see why you're behind the camera Bowlofspinach, that education also really fits all the tech skills you wanted. And strong enough for serious hand-held camera work. Not bad at all for your concept.

CESN I think your character looks fine. I didn't go through all the math, but everything looked pretty straight. Certainly have enough background on him posted here to get started.

Bowlofspinach and Swoop how are you guys coming along? Any questions or troubles working through the creation rules?

OOC:
I think both stories work for me. The second one probably has more occult potential and less coverage, so the show could be about raising awareness for that haunted house... probably with some complains about how the main stream media is focusing on the other story.

I think swoop has been a bit inactive recently, so I'm not sure if he is just busy, or if he taught GP wasn't for him (joined 10 days ago)

Hopefully he was just busy and will hop back in soon. If not I'm ok starting with just 2 characters, we can always bring in more cast members later. There's a few places I can put up ads for the game.

As for the prologue stuff, feel free to get in character with that. What sort of sales pitch Joe would give to get the team on board with it. Or if there's other things he'd want to look up before committing to going on site to begin recording.

Mechanically, I'm done. I just need to think of a name and fill out the background section. I'll post my character shortly
Jun 20, 2019 3:03 pm
I'll wait at least for bowl's go ahead and finish up some details 👍
OOC:
Also just thought if swoop didn't quit, but he is instead waiting for email notifications... that could take a while to get...
